A woman's Reddit post about driving to her long-distance boyfriend's ranch only to have the mother of his secret six-month-old baby burst through the bedroom door has gone viral on r/GirlDinnerDiaries.
They had been dating since November. Schedules finally aligned after weeks apart, she had no reason to suspect a thing, so she drove to his ranch. They shared ice cream, kisses, a quick store run and talked for hours.
Back at his place that evening, the poster said the floors suddenly began shaking.
"The floors were shaking, the walls were rattling, the bedroom door just blew open," she wrote. Enraged, a woman stormed in and went straight for her boyfriend. He tugged, she resisted, and they wrestled in the direction of the door. After grabbing her belongings, the poster bolted outdoors.
The driveway sat blocked by the woman's car. The poster yelled for the boyfriend's cousin to move the car blocking the driveway. Another woman already sitting in the vehicle moved it. She drove down the road, still trying to catch her breath. Her stuffed animal, her favorite one, was still inside the house.
She ran back and grabbed it. The woman and the boyfriend were still arguing close to the car when they came outside once more. The woman yelled, "He hasn't seen his six-month-old baby in months." He shut her mouth. After getting into her car, the poster drove off.
She stopped at the nearby stop sign and blocked his number on her phone. "I was shaking and my chest was pounding," she wrote. Since November, a relationship built without a single word about a baby already six months old.
"Not once did he ever mention having a baby," she wrote in the post. "I'm so sad for her. I wish I could have told her that I didn't know and that I'm so sorry for the way he hurt her."

"I also just want to say how beautiful of a human being [sic] you are," one commenter wrote, adding: "You are a true girls girl and I hope your heart finds the healing you deserve."
A second commenter wrote, "May OP's pillow be always at the perfect temperature and her line always make her wait the shortest possible time."
A third commenter raised a concern about the baby's mother's safety, writing, "Sounds like a dangerous situation and hopefully doesn't escalate where he takes out his frustration and anger on her and the baby."
